Our RISE program for high school students provides academic support, re-engagement, extended learning and acceleration of grade level standards, while also strengthening social-emotional support and college readiness skills.

Students are assigned a Â鶹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø student mentor, and engage with Hope faculty and staff through workshops and other programs. Using a robust, student-centered, transdisciplinary curriculum that focuses on literature, mathematics and writing through hands-on STEAM activities, students have opportunities to utilize academic discourse, critical-thinking, problem-solving and collaboration to accelerate learning and engage all learners in real world application of skills. Project-based learning, design thinking and voice, choice and agency provide further opportunities for students to deepen their leadership skills and service learning.

After-school programming is offered during the academic year, partnering high school students with Â鶹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø student mentors. We also offer a six-week RISE summer intensive program.
